The foster parents who took in several of the Turpin children after their rescue from a home of severe abuse in 2018 were sentenced on child abuse charges Friday.

Marcelino Olguin was sentenced to seven years in state prison and was taken away in handcuffs following the sentencing in Riverside County, California. His wife, Rosa Olguin, and their daughter, Lennys Olguin, were each sentenced to four years of probation and broke down in tears during the hearing.

The judge also ordered that the defendants have no contact with the nine victims, which included several of the Turpin siblings. None of the victims or their attorneys were present in court for the sentencing.

A victim impact statement from one of the victims, identified as JT, was read aloud during the hearing. “All I wanted was to finally have a loving family and recover from my trauma, but unfortunately, I did not receive that,” the statement said in part.

Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin, whose office prosecuted the case, called the sentencing a significant step toward justice for the victims. “These children were placed in a position of vulnerability after surviving intense trauma, only to be further exploited by someone who was entrusted with their care,” Hestrin said in a statement.

The three foster parents pleaded guilty last month to child endangerment and false imprisonment, with Marcelino Olguin also pleading guilty to three counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14. The family was arrested in 2021 after initially pleading not guilty.
